Save and Sound

You are just getting up but I have arrived safe and sound in Roma! I have a small room here until the college opens up September 30. I meet with the director of the my department at 17h that is 11:00 am you time. Pray for me. Francesco the secretary at the college advised I should dress well but act causal. Good advice.

Off to Rome

After three months in Siena my luggage has grown! Books are VERY heavy! I was tempted to leave them here.

Try your luck with passato prossimo

Hey this is how I learnt how to put things in the past tense. I drink... I was drinking... is Bevo... Ho bevuto... Try your luck....

Prayer for Peace

FYI and call for prayers

As your man on the ground in Italy I feel called to make the journey from my comfortable apartment in Siena to Rome for the September 7th prayer vigil. I am pumped that Bishop Fabbro will be leading prayers the following week.

I will let you know how it goes. Fasting and travel really don't go together... Oh well!
